OSHA is using broad high-level measures as well as new measures for agency-funded activities and programs to assess how they benefit you.

How will we measure success?

Reducing the number of fatalities associated with the four leading causes of workplace death – falls, electrocutions, caught in or between, and struck by – for sectors covered by the OSH Act in general industry and construction.

Increasing the number of targeted hazards abated.

Targeted injuries and illnesses include: hearing loss in manufacturing, illnesses in general industry and construction, and workplace amputations

Increase worker and employer awareness of OSHA rights, responsibilities and programs to improve “voice in the workplace.”

Activities include: expanded outreach and education targeted to small business and vulnerable workers in high risk industries, achieving an increase in health and safety protections and a reduction of occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities
